[Support request] Related Posts by Tags, Categories, Latest [WP Show Posts Pro + GP Hooks]

[Andrei]

Hey guys, I’m having a similar issue with no posts available to be shown as in here: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/related-posts-by-tags-and-categories-wp-show-posts-pro-gp-hooks

I follow this guide https://gpsites.co/merch/the-single-post/ – How I made the Related Posts. It works great just some of my categories have 1 article and I get that no posts available notice.

What I would like to achieve in the end would be to display related posts by tag, fallback on category, and if none available to have the last fallback on most recent published articles.

Is this possible?

Cheers.

Hi there,

try this function:

<div class="wpsp-related-posts  grid-container">
    <h2>Related Posts</h2>
<?php
if ( is_single() ) {
    $cats =  get_the_category();
    $cat = $cats[0];
} else {
    $cat = get_category( get_query_var( 'cat' ) );
}
	
$cat_slug = $cat->slug;
$count = $cat->category_count;
	
if ( $count == 1 ) {
    // Set ID of fallback WPSP list 
    wpsp_display( 296 );
} else {
    $list = get_page_by_title( 'related', 'OBJECT', 'wp_show_posts' );
    wpsp_display( $list->ID, 'tax_term="' . $cat_slug . '"' );
}

?>
</div>

You will need to add the WPSP List ID for the fallback list – here: wpsp_display( 296 );
